Kajos: I'm not sure there will be a sequel now, think instead, I shall just continue with this story as it doesn't really have a good place to end it and start another. Enjoy the update and any feedback on whether there should be a sequel or just continue is welcome.

"Look Sam, we just want to see how he is."

"I'm sorry Jack. I know you two are worried but Janet's still running tests and until she's finished she doesn't need you two under foot." Jack's clone yelled in frustration. "I know this is hard for you both but the base is in chaos and it's going to be awhile so just chill, relax and wait, please." Sam pleaded. They gave in, returning to their assigned rooms while Sam went to check on every one in the infirmary.

Daniel was asleep in a chair next to an empty bed. Sam watched for a minute until Janet came up beside her.

"I had them take James for x-ray. He hasn't left his side and needed the sleep so we thought we should leave him there." She said softly.

"How is he?" She said turning to look at the doctor.

"James or Daniel?"

"Which ever."

"Well James is still asleep, hasn't stirred at all, which has me baffled seeing as his head appears to be fine. The rest of him, well it's phenomenal, he's mostly healed from his beating, all his bones have started to knit already."

"The General has us checking his past. Somethings don't add up." Sam hinted.

"James checks out if thats what you want to know, so far there are a few oddities but nothing impossible." Sam just nodded.

"Daniel?"

"He's tired and worried half to death. He's being a parent Sam. Thats all."

"He's grown so attached to James. So quickly."

"Daniel see's himself in James. He went through a lot of homes after he lost his parents. He doesn't want that for James. He wants James to have a family, people to sit by the bed side and all that."

"Well, make sure he eats will you."

"I will." They both headed back to work.


Jack stood with his face in his hands as the lift doors closed. This made no sense at all. None of it. He would call it impossible except that the evidence proved otherwise and he tried not to use that word. What did they do about this? It was like having a handful of pieces from five different puzzles. He reached Carters office she looked up from her computer in hope, only to see him shake his head.

"We'll have to tell the General." The Major stated.

"I know"

"He'll have to do something."

"I know."

"But sir..."

"I know, Carter! I know..." They were both still for a moment in thought before the Colonel turned to leave expecting Carter to follow him before he paused. "Should we tell Daniel first?"

"I don't think so, sir. He wouldn't be able to listen to us objectively." Jack nodded and lead the way to their CO's office.

"Come in." Hammond looked up as they entered the room "Colonel, Major. You've found something I take it."

"In a manner of speaking, sir." O'Neill said cryptically.

"What does that mean Colonel?" The General asked leaning forward.

"We've found nothing, sir"

"Why are you here then?"

"No, sir." Carter clarified "We found nothing. James McGuyver doesn't exist before the moment he met Daniel Jackson."


They sat around the briefing table waiting as the two senior officers and the CO finished their discussion in the office before proceeding out.

"Thank you for coming so quickly Ladies and Gentlemen. We believe we might have a security breach on our hands."

"As requested by the General myself and Major Carter have been investigating the origins of James McGuyver. We discovered that he doesn't exist on any computer system, we have a birth certificate for him but the details on it don't match anything on any record system, nothing even close. He has no medical records, dental records or security agency records despite what was said by that British agent. He appears to be the only one with any knowledge of the boy and is looking into why no one else remembers or has any record of him over there. Given all this we started to work on other leads trying to contact his past carers, half of them don't exist and the over half have never hear of a James McGuyver or fostered a child. We even went so far as to check out the Will, it makes no mention of James at all."

"Faced with all that we decided we would have to try for something we were certain about, James was in childcare services before Daniel took responsibility of him. I looked at their computer files though and found nothing so the Colonel went to visit them.

"They had no memory of James, no paper records of him and when I checked the security camera footage it showed Daniel leaving with him but there was no film of him entering the building or being anywhere else in that building ever." Jack finished.

"As you can see people, this a very concerning situation." Hammond said gently, knowing that many people around the table thought highly of the boy.

"Sir, to clarify...are you saying the James is a spy?" Daniel said disbelievingly.

"I wish that was all I had to say, Dr Jackson, but unfortunately Dr Fraiser has found further information that is vital to the issue." They all looked at the small woman as she stood up.

"Well, James McGuyver is human, every indicator says as much but he is not...I don't even know what the correct word would be. The first and most obvious difference is that his body is healing twice as fast as expected. Bones are knitting already and bruises are rapidly fading, despite this he hasn't woken up yet. So, I ran a scan on his head, his brain activity is twice that of a normal human when awake. So finally when I needed x-rays of his broken bones I got a whole body x-ray just to be sure he hadn't already mostly healed something and I'd missed it. The results where amazing. James McGuyver we all knew was skilled at martial arts and an active person. He has never broken a bone in his body, not even a toe before this incident. Thats riduiculas but possible of course, the final thing I found was that his skull. It's one complete bone mass. Now in a human the skull actually has a split down the middle where it has growned together after birth, before which it is soft to allow us to exit the birth channel. James doesn't have this. There's only one other person I've ever seen with that who was human, and that is Colonel O'Neill's clone."

"So James is a clone?" the said teenager asked.

"I don't know. It doesn't explain the rest of my findings, all I can reliably say is that he was never born."

"As you can see everyone, we have no idea what we are dealing with. For now I'm suggesting the boy be isolated and restrained. Unless anyone else has an idea."

"Sir if you wish him restrained that could be difficult, we already know he can quiet easily escape our restraints."

"That's true."

"Sir, what if James doesn't know about any of this?" Daniel asked.

"What do you mean Dr Jackson?"

"What I mean is I've been living with him for months now. He has never shown any sign of lieing."

"That doesn't mean anything if he's good enough Daniel." Jack pointed out.

"I know that Jack, but what if he's like your clone."

"Hello I am here!"

"Sorry, but still, he might not have any idea about any of this. He might truly believe he's lived with these people and been these places."

"He has a point, sir" Carter said "If he was unconscious of all this then there's no need to restrain him."

"And how are we supposed to find that out, Major?"

"I believe we still have a Tok'ra lie detector do we not General." Teal'c said.

"Yes, sir, we could just ask him. If he thinks he's telling the truth we will be certain of it with that device."

"Alright, Major you have a go as soon as he wakes up. In the mean time I want him placed in an isolation room just in case. Dismissed." Every one began to move.

"Hey." Jack said to his clone.

"Yeah."

"A word please." He said with a serious look that told the younger Jack that this was not going to be a good word and probably had something to do with why he wasn't in school and was wanted by the police.

Kajos:Well there you go. James ain't completely normal. Next update, when I get round to it. Please review.
